Will ships have crew, at least as just an information?It just feels emty when there is no number of crew members specified in the game.

Crew can add another dimension to the game.

Crew can take losses if the ship is damaged or when fighting boarding parties. Also, crew mwmbers can die during the long, deep space missions. Ships with reduced crew have longer reaction times, are less efficient at combat and ship can be damaged more easily. Also crew would give new tactics to combat (boarding, targeting crew quaters or life support).

Crew can only be replenished at naval bases or (military) starports in home star systems.
